Hello. I have a problem with my stretched ears. after more than a year of wearing plugs both of my ears, one more than the other, started to swell, are itchy and leaking colorless puss. the areas around my plug are also itchy, including the skin behind my ear. i m wondering if it s an ear infection or if it s just the material. the material used when the swelling occured was sillicone, my previous experiences with sillicone were fine.
